Comparative and Superlative Adjectives – Year 4 English Unit

Teach comparative and superlative adjectives through a structured sequence of explicit instruction, guided examples, printable practice, collaborative games and assessment. Students learn how adjective forms change when comparing two or more people, places, objects and ideas.

The unit develops understanding of regular -er and -est endings, spelling changes, more and most constructions and common irregular forms. Students then choose suitable adjective forms in sentences, explain comparisons and apply the skill in increasingly independent tasks.
